Team Profile: Storm Chasers (Mumbai)

9 April 2010 | No Comments » | Kapil

It all began when a group of working professionals in Mumbai, in search of an interesting sport, chanced upon Ultimate Frisbee. They realized there was no team representing Mumbai and decided to form a Mumbai team. The fledgling team represented Mumbai in Chennai Heat 2008 where teams from all over India and Sri Lanka participated. Six players from Mumbai participated in the tournament supported by players joining in from other cities.

Mumbai Ultimate and the Storm Chasers have come a long way since. At the Kodaikanal ”Fly Baba” Ultimate Frisbee tournament, held in March 2009, the Storm Chasers came of age by beating the LiveWires in a nail-biting 11-10 finish game.

Today, they practice diligently thrice a week at either of the venues – Juhu beach, Goregaon Sports Club (GSC) or the Manish Nagar grounds. Watch out for this young team with members of ages 20 to 25 storming into the Indian Ultimate scene and chasing the disc down to the last breath.

Chaser! Chaser! Storm Chaser!!!!!!
